strong, rich, heady,

i've always loved

the smell of coffee

dark, mysterious

it could either soothe you

or scald you, burn your tongue

the bitterness

your bitterness

is so addicting

i still feel it

taste it, am still smitten

still craving it

this has got to stop. . .

i have got to stop. . .

but i don't think

i'll ever have

another cup

without thinking of you. . .

walking away now,

ever so slowly. . .
